Death of G. C. McLean.—This past Tuesday, Keoki Makalena [George McLean], a haole very familiar to there people here in Honolulu, died; and he was the one who owns the Shop called, “Ka Halekuai Bolabola.”*
[Oftentimes foreign people were given Hawaiianized names like Makalena for McLean, Wilikina for Wilson, or Poe for Boyd. I have started tracking some of these names, because I think it would be helpful when doing research in Hawaiian language documents. See the list by clicking here.]
*George Christie McLean was also known to Hawaiians as Bolabola. His store seems to have been known in English as George C. McLean’s Store.

George Christie McLean (1818-1878) aka Keoki Makalena is my Great, Great Grandfather and he is buried at our family plot at Oahu Cemetery in Nuuanu. His son, my Great Grandfather George Thomas McLean (1859-1921) is also buried there. George Thomas McLean’s daughter is my Grandmother, Mary Annie McLean McNicoll (1889-1933) and she is buried at our Family Cemetery (Kahaupali) in Sunnyside, Maui (Makawao District). My Mother, Annie Leighton McNicoll Enomoto is also buried there on Maui. I’m glad you provided this information on G. C. McLean’s business on Oahu. Mahalo a nui loa!
